Should I get a Z?

zmyride

i never own a Z. I'm looking to buy a 2009. I always love the Z's since the 280Z. Now please help me decide if i should get one or not.

1. This one dealership is willing to give me a 09 Z black base model with sports package for $32K. Is this a good deal? You think they would lower to $30K?
2. How's the gas mileage? I read a few research and they say it gets pretty bad mileage like 18MPG combined. Is this true? How many gallons do you fill up each time?
3. It will not be my weekend car. I will drive and commute with it, about 20 miles one way each day. Is it a good idea to get a Z with that bad mileage for commuting?
4. How much do you pay for insurance?
5. How reliable is the Z? You think it would last 100,000 without any major problems? I can live with paying for regular maintenance and stuff, but I don't expect major problem before it hits 100K miles.

Thank you in advance for your answers. Believe me, your answers will help me decide if i should get one or not.

Should I decide not to get a Z, my second option would be either:

1. 2010 BMW 128i Coupe, V6 200HP.
2. 2010 Mazda Miata Hardtop convertible V4 167HP.
